Damn, good stuff. You mind if I ask who's the star of your team? One of the guys from my classes or a real life player?

But yeah, hearing that is good. I was trying to decide between 5 classes, 10 classes and 15 classes. I'm leaning towards ten again but I still wanted to hear what you guys think. Really glad to hear you're still playing with the classes man.

10 sounds good. Over 10 might take alot of time, especially with you may converting it to fit a specific roster.
Anything would be great. I forgot his name, but I loved the 6'7 PG you made. I think his name was Adam Cameron.

What up fellas. Sorry to bump this old thread but I'm trying to gather some info to prepare for these draft classes next year. Just wanted to ask:

How far do most of you usually go into your Association?

The longest one I've had was with the Lakers. I traded Bynum to Cleveland for Varejao, some bench player and I THINK Antawn Jamison plus a first rounder, turns out Bynum didn't make them any better and Cleveland tanked. I got the first pick (projected 3rd) in the 2012 draft, I picked Glenn Braxton, of course. Him and Kobe went on to win back to back titles, before losing to Miami in the third straight appearance. Kobe retired. Then my game froze in the following off season and lost it all. =[

I'm loving Ray Campbell. Traded Wade for Ray Campbell (Sophomore) and Kevin Love. Next year he became a star player.

Cameron McKinney FTW!!

Sadly, the association glitch has killed it for me this season. The one where teams records are messed up... So 4 years with SimWorld combined with your draft classes.

If they can manage to make a glitch free association I would be playing it all year, but sadly this killed it for me!

Lol Cameron McKinney was borderline unfair man.

Re: Fictional Draft Classes for your Association (Storylines/Scouting Reports Inside)

Cameron McKinney wasn't more unfair than other legends like Jordan were... He was fun to play with!

I gotta agree with MavsManiac on this. With your classes, as far as you'll take it. 15 classes would be great to be honest! But it's whatever you wanna do Sapp! I'll be there lol

I use the draft classes until my game freezes .

Re: Fictional Draft Classes for your Association (Storylines/Scouting Reports Inside)

Yeah, i really hope that they fix this beast. Interestingly enough, the past couple of years, the game has allowed a couple more draft classes to be uploaded before the game freezes. This year I believe it is nine uploaded classes before the freeze, and it was like seven the year before that. The whole thing is pretty weird. Anyway, after talking with a few of you guys I have decided on what you can expect from this year's draft classes. I refine the list once I start a new thread in October but figured I would give you guys a heads up now. This year's classes will include:

1) A write up for each class similar to the ones in this thread along with stories, strengths, weaknesses, projected lottery and NBA comparisons.

2) Written interviews for select players.

3) Powerpoint presentation including visuals, All American Teams, player awards and statistics and draft rating.

4) An audio presentation attached to the powerpoint that will be used as sort of a "pre-draft show".

Could be more to come but that is it for now. Hope you guys are looking as forward to it as I am.

You and me both! Sapp be doing his thing for real!

Re: Fictional Draft Classes for your Association (Storylines/Scouting Reports Inside)

Using your future draft class is the #1 thing I am looking to for my association. I am debating if I will even use a 2013 real draft class or just go with yours from season 1.

I missed most of 2k12 because I could not deal with the bugs, but with the changes this year I am ready to go!!!! Hopefully I will not draft a bust to my bobcats! Looking forward to it.

Damn CW,

You're going all out this year! I wish you'd come over to the dark side and play PS3....ohhhhhhhhhh man



I'm going to do something similar for the folks on PS3...definitely taking a few pages from your playbook - you've got some awesome ideas here. What a genius idea to create these draft classes with powerpoint presentations - to get an even better sense of how the rookies careers will play out.

One thing I really enjoy about this year's Madden is the entire rookie scouting process - it's pretty fun and you get to see player's storylines evolve and change throughout the season. Have you checked this mode out?

Re: Fictional Draft Classes for your Association (Storylines/Scouting Reports Inside)

What up Swagger! Man I think you should definitely go all out for the PS3 guys. And yeah I have played Madden and love how they implemented storylines into the drafts. The only thing about that is that I really hate how the XP system works so I really didn't get to enjoy the game as much as I would've liked. How you been though man?
